Every bride wants to look the most beautiful girl on her wedding day. The beauticians apply best of their skills to make the bride look just the best. We are here with a list of some do's and don'ts while doing the make-up of the brides.

An Indian wedding is always a fitting occasion for the bride to dress impeccably and go for a makeover that makes her the cynosure of all eyes. Since a wedding is once in a lifetime affair, you’d naturally want it to make as spectacular and rambunctious as possible. You’d like to be at your photogenic best such that all guests just drool over your wedding make-up looks.

The do’s of bridal make-up

The days of garish make-up are over. Not very long ago, the drift was on going for a full face make-up and using deep eyeliners and mascara that would made one look flashy. Now, the trend is of subdued, sophisticated shades which would accentuate your features. Wedding make-up trend has changed from simple yet innovative makeover strategies like a gel base for the foundation make-up, ingenuous yet stunning coiffures, and subtle tones for resplendent looks.
When ...
... doing up your face follow these tips:-

* Stick to a style that is timeless and classic such that you look scintillating in your snaps even after three decades
* Apply bronzing powder to warm up the skin tone
* Use a gel primer so that your bronzing foundation powder stays put
* To appear photogenic in photos go for bases like sunset or golden hue
* Use colour that are natural and goes with your skin tone

As for the eyebrows, use a shade or a tint that is a bit darker than your hair colour for a better contrast. Neutral colours work best for highlighting the eyes. Use black or brown eyeliner. For your eyelashes, first use a curler and apply two daubs of mascara. Use a waterproof mascara as a protective veneer when tears well up in your eyes during the send-off phase.

And the don’ts

Don’t go for facials or waxing sessions on the wedding day. All such makeovers should be done at least a week ahead. Don’t keep any last minute ‘make-up stunts’ on the D-day. Go for a trial at least a month ahead. Don’t overdo your eyebrows or eyelashes and don’t use too much powder. The hairdo should not be overdone as well as it’ll diminish significance of the dress.

Don’t apply too many daubs of mascara. Clumpy lashes or flashy eyeliners are also a strict no-no. Do away with using dark pencils for your brows. Don’t use a lipstick that is too dark or frosted. Avoid using a lip-liner that is of a darker hue compared to your lip gloss or lipstick. Look for the best beauticians in the town providing great wedding make-up looks.
